FOOD FRAUDS.
THE SHAMEFUL USE OF LIME AND ALUM
IN CHEAP BAKING POWDERS

THE SHAMEFUL USE OF LIME AND ALUM
IN CHEAP BAKING POWDERS.
Many food frauds, such as chicory
coffee or watered milk, although they
are swindie in commercial sense, are
often tolerated because they do not par
ticcIarly affect the health of the con
sumer; but when an article like bak ing
powder, that enters largely into the food
of every family, and IS relied upon for
the preparation of almost every meal, is
So mace as to carry injurious, if not
rankly poisonous, elements into the
bread, the entire community is endan-
geTed, aud it is the duty of the press to
denounce the practice in the most EN-
phatic terms.
Among the important discoveries by
the food analysis is that by Prof. Mott,
the U. s. Govern ment Chemist, of large
amounts of lime and alum In the cheap
baking powders. These are, one the
most dangerous. and the other the most
useless adulterant yet found in the low
grade, inferior baking powders. 1t is a
startling fact that of the many brands
Of baking powders so far analyzed, none
of them, with the single exception of
the Royal Baking Powder, was found
free from both lime and alum. The
chief service Of lime is to add weight.
1t is true that lime, when subjected to
heat, gives off certain amount of car
bonic acid gas, but quick-lime is left
a caustic so powerful that it is used by
tanners to eat the hair from hides of an
i1als. and in dissecting rooms to more
quickly rot the flesh from the bones of
dead subjects. A small quantity of dry
lime upon the tongue, or IN the eye, pro-
dlces painful effects; how much more
serious must these effects be on the dell
icate membranes of the stomach, mtes-
tines and kidneys, more particularly of
infants and :,Iildren, and especially
when the line is taken into the system
day after day, and with almost every
meal. This is said by physicians to be
one of the causes of indigestion, dyspep-
sia, and those painful diseases of the
kidneys now so prevalent. Instances of
the most serious affections of the latter
organs from drinking lime water found
in some sections are noted in every med
ical journal.
Adulteration with lime is quite as
much to be dreaded as with alum, which
has heretofore received the most EN-.
phatic condemnation from every food
analyst, physician or chemist, for the
reason that, while alum is probably par
TALLY dissolved and passed off in gas by
the heat OF baking, it is impossible to
destroy or change the nature of the
lime in any degree, SO that the entire
amount in the baking powder passes,
with all its injurious properties, into
the stomach. When we state that the
chemists have found twelve per cent. or
one eighth of the entire weight of some
samples of baking powder analyzed, to
be lime, the wickedness of the adultera-
tion will be apparent.
Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per
feet and wholesome food. While those
are to be obtained of well-established
reputation, like the Royal, of whose pu-
rity there has never been question, it
is proper to avoid all others.

Republican candidate for auditor of
state, lives in Bowling Green, Wood
county, and is well and favorably known
throughout northwestern Ohio. He was
born in Hancock county, near Findlay,
November II, 1916. He worked on a
farm and attended country school until
May 4, 1864, when he entered the service
of his country at the age of seventeen.
On his return from the army he attended
the Findlay high school; and then ac-
cepted a position in dry goods store in
the same town. Later he Joined the
grand army of commercial men, and sold
goods on the road for six years, making
many friends during his travels Mr..
Poe then engaged in business in North
Baltimore, being one of the first business
men in that village and built the second
house. While travelling on the road in 1881
he was elected county auditor of Wood
county. He was reelected in 1888, after
very bitter struggle, by an increased ma
jority, leading Gen. Robinson, candidate
for secretary of state, by sixty votes.
To show his popularity, he carried Henry,
his home township, which gives seventy
five Democratic majority, by fifty-seVen
votes. His present term as auditor will
expire in November. Mr.. Poe first began
to think of politics during the Fremont
campaign in 1856, and has always taken
a lively part since. He did much to help
elect Col. NJ. NJ. Boothman to congress
over Bill Hill in the Sixth district, when
the Democratic majority of 1900 was
overcome. The people of the northwest
ern part of the state claim that they have
done good work for the party, and have
exerted an influence that has been felt;
hence their anxiety to be represented on
the state ticket. Mr.. Poe is member of
the G.. A. R., Sons of Veterans, Masonic
order, 1. o. o. F. and Knights of Pythias,
and is very popular among the members
of these various orders.

THE Gazette persists in personal abuse
Of Commissioner Berry. Its assaults
upon Mr.. Berry have been squsrely met,
but the editor persists in repeating ard
Ievamping the same stale old stories.
The editor has some personal grievance,
or bas been poisoned against Mr. Berry
by some malicious person, and he is car
rying his maliguity to such an extent
that it must be resented by fair-minded
men. Printing presses and types were
not intended for such uses as they are
being put to by the editor of the Gazette.
We have said heretofore that the al

said so repeatedly, but, without excep-
tion, where mistakes were made by him
he was either so advised by a Democrat

He is plain farmer. without training
in the construction of laws or accounts,
and how many farmers are? And it is
mendacity unparalleled for that malig>

things he was advised to do by Mr.
Newell K. KennOn, who is supported by
the Gazette for re election to the office
of Prosecuting Attorney, and who had
